The Mountain Monster Rides 

The Mountain Monster is actually 3 separate ride experiences. The Monster Drop plunges down 200 feet for a stomach-dropping ride like no other. Oh, and did we mention that you’re secured with a lab belt but have nothing to hold onto? Now that’s what we call an exhilarating adventure! The Monster Launch blasts you 170 feet in the air where you’ll feel all the negative G’s. Finally, the Monster Swing is the star of the show– a massive swing you won’t find anywhere else! This free fall type of ride will give you a clear birds-eye view of Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains– it should be on everyone’s bucket list!

Tastings at Junction 35

Junction 35 is a local distillery known for its extensive liquor options, including bourbon, rye, whiskey, moonshine, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum. You can see how the distillery works, try unique flavors of moonshine, and learn from the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We highly recommend trying the Margarita Moonshine or the Caramel Apple Whiskey!

They offer some of the best escape games in the Smoky Mountains, including Batman, Scooby Doo, and Star Trek.

A margarita is the most popular drink of choice on our delicious cocktail menu, but our bar crew makes a variety of drinks made with premium liquor and agave.  Our menu features shareable appetizers such as spicy salsa matcha wings, loaded nachos, stuffed Tex-Mex eggrolls, and made-to-order guacamole. And of course, fresh chips and salsa or queso blanco!
